"I have grown to appreciate the task of helping children take better care of themselves, of each other, and of their classrooms. It's not a waste. It's probably the most enduring thing that I teach. In a world filled with global violence and threats of environmental devastation, where drugs and guns are easily available, learning to be more decent and to build caring communities is hardly a waste of time."
-Ruth Sydney Charney, Teaching Children to Care


"I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework."
-Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"

Fall



Fall is in full swing here in kindergarten. I am already cold standing out in recess and can only imagine this winter out there with the kids. I never remember standing outside in the winter during recess when I was in elementary school. I've either blocked it out or I was running around so much that the cold didn't bother me. Anyway, I came prepared this morning with a long coat, hat, scarf, and mittens. Recess, here I come!
